People Fleeing the City.

Chicago Herald.
DO you know" said Northwestern conduc-
tor to city official yesterday afternoon, ''that
hundreds of people, especially women, are leav-
ing town in anticipation of Fridays hanging.
They are firmly convinced that there will be
trouble, and they do not propose to be here to
take any part in it. You would smile could you
hear some of the vagaries these people entertain
and believe to be solid facts. Only yesterday
one woman told me that if Spies and his COM
panions are hanged their sympathizers outside
will surely make effort to destroy the city.
Big men with whiskers, who. you would think,
ought to know better, are leaving the city
every train, fleeing from an imaginary danger.
The women for the most part being sent
away by their husbands and male relatives.
Another phase of the scare is the excitement
prevalent in cities throughout the country. [
will not be responsible for the assertion that at
least one tenth of the people of Chicago who
have relatives and friends outside the city have
received urgent demands from them to leave
town. Why, at many stations along my
am daily quizzed by and women who
have sons here and who want them to home"

THE LAST LEGAL MOVES.
Judge Tuiey Refuses Mr.. Salomon's Applica-
ton for Writ of Habeas Corpus

Judge Tuiey Refuses Mr.. Salomon's Applica-
ton for Writ of Habeas Corpus.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.--Attorney Solomon ap-
peared before Judge Tuley at o'clock this aft
ernoon and made his application for writ of
habeas corpus in behalf CT A. r. Parsons. His
points were that the process void and the
judgment of the Supreme Court was void, the
record saying the defendant was present, when
he was absent. He claimed that the order of
the court directing the execution of the Anarch-
lists on Nov. IL was unconstitutional and void,
inasmuch as such final process must read, ''In
the name of the people of the State of Illinois"
He read many decisions in support of his point
that the order of the court was not adequate
He admitted the order was in accordance with
the statutes but declared the statutes uuconsti-
tutional. He said the statutes had not been at
tackled before.
Mr.. Grinnell said all of the records in the case,
and even the death warrant, were in the hands
of the sheriff, and, in his opinion, the appica-
ton for a writ of habeas corpus was absurd.
Mr.. Solomon maintained that Parsons is held
under two writs. one from the lower court and
one from the Supreme Court He did not claim
that Parsons should he liberated from jail, but
that he should be discharged from custody und err
the second writ-the one under which his exc
cution is ordered--until a correct and proper
writ is issued
During Mr. Salomons argument Captain
Black came into the court and looked over the
authorities quoted by the other attorney.
One of Mr.. Salomons main points that
the Illinois Supreme Court should have re-
turned the the lower court, where the
sentence should have again been pronounced.
The neglect to do this, he argued. a fatal
error. The writ was refused by Judge Tuley.
